Why do most X-tians worship on manmade Sabbath (Sun-day) than Godmade Sabbath (Saturday)?

Answer 1

why do most people go to church on Sunday there are about 11 reasons but they are NOT supported by the Bible.

I will explain each of the 11 reasons below it may be a little long, but it will cover all the reasons. I do not want to offend anyone with what I say but I have to say what the Bible says.


The 11 reasons

1.The early church changed
NO WHERE in the Bible does the early church say “The new day of worship is Sunday” There is NO verse in the Bible to support this.

The early church kept the Sabbath
The apostles kept the Sabbath
Acts 13:14
Acts 13:42
Acts 13:44
Acts 16:13
Acts 17:2
Acts 18:4

the Gentiles went to Church on Sabbath
Acts 13:42
Acts 17:1-4
Acts 18


2.Sunday is the new Sabbath because of the resurrection
No verse in the Bible says worship on Sunday due to the Resurrection. God said that Baptism is symbol of the death and resurrection of Christ
Colossians 2:12
Romans 6:3-4
Galatians 3:27


3.Jesus fulfilled the law so the Sabbath is gone
Matt 5:17
"Do NOT THINK that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I HAVE NOT come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

does fulfill mean do away with or end

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to do away with them.
Isn’t that the contradictory?


4.We can’t tell which day
So, ENTIRE Jewish Nation all over the ENTIRE world woke up one morning and EVERY one of them forgot which day was the Sabbath?
That is not logical

The change of the calendar had no effect on the weekly cycle
The US Naval Observatory and the Royal Observatory both confirm the 7th day Sabbath(Saturday) is the SAME Sabbath that Jesus kept.

Mark 16 says that Jesus rose the day after the Sabbath. We all know Jesus rose on Sunday... so what day is the Sabbath?
Some people say “God didn’t name the days Sunday, Monday, Tuesday etc so we don’t have to keep it.”
Essentially what these people are saying is because we speak a different language from the Jews we don’t have to do what God says


5.It does not matter which day WE choose
God did not say "Pick a day to worship" He said "THE" 7th day is "THE" Sabbath. The word "THE" means a specific item.

The first person to say "It doesn't matter how we worship God" is Cain. Cain said "It doesn't matter how we worship God as long as we give something God will accept it. God does not care as long as you give and call it holy. Don't be legalistic Abel."
Was he right?
Is God specific about what He says.


6.It was only for the Jews, or The Jewish Sabbath is Saturday and the Christian Sabbath is Sunday
The Sabbath was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden 1000 yrs before the first JEW was born Genesis 2:1-3 if they were Jews we all are Jews and STILL need to keep the Sabbath

There is NO SUCH THING as "The Jewish Sabbath and the Christian Sabbath". There is ONLY ONE Sabbath day regardless of religion, race, nationality or language. The 7th day Sabbath does not belong to the Jews it belongs to God, "I am Lord of the Sabbath" Jesus said. In addition "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord" Exodus 20:8-11


7.Sunday has always been the Sabbath
This contradicts the Mark 16 which says Jesus rose the day after the Sabbath on the first day of the week.

8.we are under the new covenant
Hebrews 8:7-12 says
For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(What was the problem?) But God found fault with the PEOPLE and said "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a nEW COVENANT with the house of ISRAEL and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt (Why?), because THEY DID NOT REMAIN FAITHFUL TO MY COVENANT, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts.

The Old Covenant- the people failed to keep their part “They said we will do it” Exodus 19:8 and they failed

The problem with the Old covenant was the people failed to keep it. There was nothing wrong with the law.

The Old Covenant was based on the people, God says “If you will...then I will” Exodus 19:5

The New Covenant is based on God, God says “I will and I will”

Where does God say that He is changing some of the laws? Where does God say that He is doing away with the Sabbath?

The New covenant, same law


9.Jesus broke the Sabbath
If Jesus broke the Sabbath then how can he say “I have kept my Fathers commandments John 15:10


10.We worship on the lord’s day … Sunday
Again, NOT ONE verse to support this claim, nor is there any verse in the Bible calling Sunday the Lord's Day. the only days called the Lord's day is the Sabbath(Saturday) and the day of Christ’s 2nd coming
Exodus 20:8
Isa 58:13,14
Matthew 12:8
Mark 2:28
Luke 6:5
Provide ONE verse that calls Sunday the Lord's Day


11.We don’t have to keep the Old law anymore we are under the spirit of the Law Love God and your neighbor
A) Is it ok to murder people? Is it ok to commit adultery? Or steal or worship other gods or be disrespectful to your parents? Then why are we getting rid of the only commandment that starts with “Remember”?

B)Does the Spirit of the Law void the Letter?
Spirit- don’t hate your brother
Letter- don’t murder

Spirit- don’t lust
Letter- don’t commit adultery

Spirit- Let you yes be yes and no be no
Letter- Don’t bare false witness

How can you keep the spirit and break the letter?

C) Jesus is quoting the “Old” Law when he says love God and your neighbor
Love God – Deut 6:5
Love your neighbor Lev 19:18

D) Mosaic law was done away with but the Mosaic law is different from the 10 commandments. The 10 commandments are eternal written in fire with the finger of God, Mosaic is temporary written by Moses.

12.We worship God everyday
This is a last ditched effort when people realize they have no Biblical basis to support violating God’s command by ignoring the Sabbath and worshiping on Sunday. It is a way to sound holier than thou willfully disobeying God

The disciples worshiped God everyday and they ALL kept the Sabbath.

Jesus prayed to His Father in Heaven everyday in addition to the fact that He is God and He still kept the Sabbath
Luke 4:16
Matthew 12:9,10
Mark 1:21
Mark 6:2 Luke 4:16
Luke 4:31
Luke 13:10

The Bible shows that If you worship everyday you STILL keep the Sabbath

Revelation 14 says that 3 messages go out to the world right before the end comes. The first message says worship the creator and then it quotes the 4th commandment.

God is calling his people to return to the commandments and worship Him as He has described. He wants His people to leave man made traditions and come back to His word.

Answer 2

I looked into this last year. It actually has to do with the history of the calendar.

One the 7th day He rested. Early days the 7th day landed on Saturday. Technically it still is Saturday. Sunday is the first day of the week. You need to read about the Gregorian and Julius calendars and learn about the pagan harvest year and such. Actually there wasn't a calendar when the Israelites lived 5000yrs ago. They made days from sunset to the next sunset. So Sabbath and holy days start at sunset. The sun sets at different times throughout the year going along the 4 seasons, so 'sunset' is at 5 pm every day around the world.

Christians changed the Sabbath to Sunday because Jesus died on a Friday and rose on a Sunday (3 days later). He celebrate with Mass and holy Eucharist on Sabbath, yet Christians don't call it Sabbath. And we have Mass from sunset on Saturday (4 pm) through Sunday morning (til noon). Some churches will have mass on Sunday nights and on holy days Mass times are different, like at 7 am, noon and/or 6 pm. Each bishop states these times. So in reality, Jews celebrate the Sabbath according to the ancient Israelites (Hebrews). Christians celebrate Mass in remembrance of Jesus' Last Supper, the breaking of the bread with the 12 disciples and is done on Sunday (sunset on Sat to Sun morning) in remembrance of Jesus' resurrection.

Answer 3

Read Galatians 4:9-11 then Romans 10:2-4, then Hebrews 4:9-11, then tell me if the Sabbath is still binding?

Answer 4

From sunset Friday to sunset Saturday is the actual Sabbath. It became replaced by making use of the Roman Catholic Church and no it would not please God that it became replaced by making use of guy. God and easily God could make differences to the Bible and to the Sabbath. In Bible situations an afternoon became measured by making use of a 24-hour day from sunset to sunset. It became like that by way of the completed Bible. previous testomony AND New testomony. The scriptures that folk use to tutor that Jesus had replaced the Sabbath have been grossly misunderstood by using fact they have been taken out of context and the sunset to sunset became no longer considered. and multiple human beings say that the Saturday Sabbath is barely for the Jews, however the Sabbath became made some years previously the Jews got here on the scene. At creation in six literal days God created the earth and guy and on the seventh day He hallowed that day. He blessed that day and made it Holy. That became the 1st Sabbath. i discussed this fact to an previous chum of mine who became specific that Sunday became the hot Sabbath and he had no reaction. It became a ask your self to him.

Answer 5

Christians worship (or should) on every day - in all they do. I know that there is a historical reason behind the change in day... but we should know that worship is in everything (our thoughts, actions, etc) that we do.

Our purpose is to glorify God, not to follow legalistic rules. Jesus was a perfect example to us of this - he healed on the Godmade Sabbath.

Some Christians attend church on a different day of the week for various reasons - and they are not any less of a Christian because of it. Church is for us to be fed, for Christian fellowship, and service to others.

WE are the body of Christ - the body is the church. We are holy once we have the Holy Spirit within us, so could there be any day that is less holy with His endwelling?

Answer 6

Because they didn't want to be like the Jews who observe the real Sabbath on Saturday.

Answer 7

Sabbath is just 1 day where you rest as long as you have the 1 day it can be either

Answer 8

Sunday was the day that Christ rose from the dead and made all things new.

Answer 9

from worshipping saturn to worshipping the Sun.

Answer 10

a better question...Why are you so concerned when you can't even bring yourself to type the word "Christ" as part of another word? That is VERY disrespectful; you should be ashamed;
